CA 3080 Tri to Sine converter question

Hi all

I was thinking about those CA 3080 tri to sine converters in Barry Klein's
book recently, and it occurred to me that rather than build one into each
oscillator, it might be nicer to have a few undedicated converters sprinkled
throughout one's system as independent waveshaping modules. Has anyone tried
this? Will it put out a good sine wave from a variety of different triangle
sources (such as 3340, ARP, ASM-1 LFO), or does each converter need to be
"tuned" for each oscillator? It may also provide interesting timbres for non-
triangle waves. Maybe you could have (switchable) front panel controls for the
shape and symmetry.

Just a thought.
